CENTRAL THICKNESS IN CORNEAL DISORDERS

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1978
In the single individual the central corneal thickness (CCT) shows only small variations. Therefore CCT has been studied in a number of corneal diseases in order to investigate if this dimension might contribute to the diagnosis or to the understanding of the pathogenesis.Normal CCT was found in hereditary dystrophies with the exception of the macular ...

Central corneal thickness in glaucoma

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2017
The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of central corneal thickness (CCT) in the clinical management of a glaucoma patient.The prognostic value of CCT is well recognized in patients with ocular hypertension. However, its predictive value in other glaucoma suspects and patients with established glaucoma is less certain.

Effect of Corneal Drying on Central Corneal Thickness

Journal of Glaucoma, 2004
To determine the amount of corneal thinning induced by corneal drying, and to discuss its possible consequences on applanation pressure.Two sets of central corneal thickness measurement from 100 eyes of 100 patients were taken by ultrasonic pachymeter at time settings of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 seconds. During the first set (group 1), patients were asked

APPLANATION TONOMETRY AND CENTRAL CORNEAL THICKNESS

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1975
Readings with the Goldmann applanation tonometer were made at various intraocular hydrostatic pressures and compared with central corneal thickness and radius in rabbit and in man. Linear correlations were established between hydrostatic pressure and applanation readings, with correlation coefficients close to 1.0.

Central corneal thickness in adult Chinese

Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology [Medical Sciences], 2006
The central corneal thickness (CCT) in age 48 years or less of Chinese was characterized and its relationship with gender, age, refraction and intraocular pressure (IOP) was investigated. Right eyes of 1669 participants were included in this study (880 men, 52.7% and 789 women, 47.3%). Mean age of the samples was 23.8 +/- 5.9 years.

Central Corneal Thickness in Childhood Cataract

Cornea, 2019
Purpose: We explored elevated central corneal thickness (CCT) in children with cataracts as possibly reflecting preexisting corneal malformation related to specific cataract morphology. Methods: All children consecutively seen during the study periods who had cataracts and corneal ...

The genetics of central corneal thickness

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2009
Evidence in the recent literature has highlighted the importance of central corneal thickness (CCT) in relation to several ocular and non-ocular conditions. Most notably, thinner CCT has been identified as a risk factor for open-angle glaucoma. Despite having an extensive knowledge of the structure and function of the cornea, little is known about the ...

Central Corneal Thickness in Congenital Glaucoma

Cornea, 2006
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare central corneal thickness between eyes with congenital glaucoma and normal fellow eyes in unilateral glaucoma or less affected fellow eyes in bilateral glaucoma. Methods: Eyes of consecutive phakic children with congenital glaucoma and ...

Central corneal thickness in premature babies

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1991
Abstract. Central corneal thickness was measured in 13 premature babies with a gestational age below 33 weeks. No difference was found between the thickness in the first and third post‐natal week. At the age of 3 months the thickness had decreased significantly to the same level previously reported in full‐term newborns.
